Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the Payment Fee Calculator
Our calculations are based on publicly available fee structures from each payment platform and real-time exchange rates. However, actual fees may vary based on:
- Your account type and location
- Transaction volume and history
- Current market conditions
- Platform-specific promotions
Important: These are estimates for informational purposes only. Always verify fees with your payment provider before making financial decisions.
We regularly review and update fee structures to reflect changes from payment platforms. Exchange rates are fetched in real-time from a public API and cached for 24 hours. If you notice a discrepancy, please contact us and we'll review it.
There are several reasons why calculated amounts may differ from what payment platforms show:
- Account-specific rates: Some platforms offer better rates to high-volume users
- Regional variations: Fees can vary by country and region
- Exchange rate timing: Rates fluctuate throughout the day
- Additional fees: Some transactions may have extra fees not included in standard rates
- Promotional rates: You might be eligible for special rates or discounts
Our calculator uses standard, publicly available fee structures. Your actual fees may be better or worse depending on your specific account and circumstances.
